Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions
Preparing the Broccoli
Step 1 - Cut the broccoli into bite sized florets and then blanch in boiling water for 30-60 seconds and then refresh under cold water to retain a bright green colour until cool. Drain well (I drain it twice) and place in a bowl.
Assembling the Salad
Step 2 - Pan fry the bacon until crispy and then allow to cool. Add this to the broccoli along with the cranberries, crumbled feta, mayonnaise and green onions and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
